About

The Worth Valley ward is located in the southwest of the Bradford district, encompassing the post-industrial towns of Keighley, Oxenhope, Oakworth, and Haworth. Its landscape is defined by the steep, wooded valley of the River Worth, which gives the area its name, and the surrounding moorland of the South Pennines. The ward's settlements are connected by the heritage Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, a preserved steam line that operates through the heart of the valley.

The area's history is deeply tied to textile manufacturing, with many former mills now repurposed for other uses. Haworth is internationally known as the former home of the Brontë sisters, with the parsonage museum drawing many visitors. The topography shapes daily life, with communities situated on the valley sides and a strong sense of local identity in each village. Economic activity includes manufacturing, tourism, and agriculture on the higher ground.
